Ergonomics is a very important standard in interior design, which is equivalent to a "ruler".

From the perspective of interior design, the purpose of applying ergonomics is to make the indoor environment fully meet the needs of people's life activities from the physiological and psychological aspects, so as to improve the indoor use function and obtain an ideal living environment.

People's activities are most closely related to people's motor organs and sensory organs, while motor organs have a certain scale and their activities have a certain range. Whether standing or sitting, raising hands, stepping and other postures, there are certain ways and distances. Therefore, for the space design, furniture and appliance design related to activities, we must take into account people's physical characteristics and action characteristics, so as to minimize people's fatigue and maximize people's activity efficiency. This is the significance of studying ergonomics in architectural decoration design.

Ergonomics originated in Europe and America. Originally, in the industrial society, when a large number of mechanical facilities were produced and used, it explored the harmonious relationship between man and machinery. As an independent discipline, it has a history of more than 4 years.

In the Second World War, the military science and technology began to apply the principles and methods of ergonomics. In the design of tanks and aircraft, how to make people operate and fight effectively in the cabin and reduce fatigue in a small space as long as possible, that is, how to deal with the harmonious relationship between man, machine and environment. After the Second World War, countries quickly and effectively applied the practice and research results of ergonomics to space technology, industrial production, architecture and interior design, and established the International Association of Ergonomics in 196.

Up to now, social development is in transition to post-industrial society and information society, and people-oriented is attached importance to serving people. Ergonomics emphasizes the new idea of comprehensive analysis of all people's life and production activities on the premise of taking people as the main body.

In fact, people-things-environment is a closely linked system. In the future, "it is expected that ergonomics will be used to actively and efficiently dominate the living environment".
